As long as you have the courage to go, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" will be willing to grant you titles. Whether you can hold onto them depends on your own fortune.

In three years of constant wars, the losses of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" have been significant. Even within Li Yunjing’s team, some have fallen and couldn’t come to welcome Li Yunjing upon his release from prison.

"Alas!"

Listening to everyone’s introductions, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but sigh, reminiscing about the past. The faces and smiles of many people still lingered in his mind, but from now on, death would part them forever, and they would never meet again.

This is the harsh reality of the Immortal Cultivation Realm!

Aside from the border issues, within the Sect, the Inner Sect competition saw Yu Zongzhe successfully take first place, achieving his wish and being promoted to a True Disciple.

Over the years, some old friends of Li Yunjing, whether from "Yaxiang Garden" or the "Scripture Pavilion," approached Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi for arrangements, and each secured a decent position.

However, it was difficult to place some True Disciples and Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

If these people were to be assigned positions, they would either have to take on Steward roles within the Sect or external positions with benefits.

All these positions were controlled by some veteran True Disciples, Sect Stewards, and family forces.

For the time being, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao couldn’t do much about it.

The forces behind them could manage a limited number of placements for the three but had no obligation to arrange positions for their small team.

After hearing these words, Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and asked, "If any of you are interested in arrays, I can arrange for you to enter the ’Seven Star Palace’!"

Looking around at his people, Li Yunjing added, "If not, and you want to go elsewhere, leave it to me! I want to see who won’t even give me this bit of face!"

"Hiss..."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Li Yunjing’s words and then became restless.

"Are you confident? Those True Disciples and Stewards who started cultivating earlier than us all have high cultivation levels. In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, at critical moments, cultivation is the deciding factor. If we can overpower them with our martial power, those old guys may not necessarily give us face!"

Fu Chao, being close to Li Yunjing, didn’t hesitate and asked directly.

Everyone pricked up their ears to hear Li Yunjing’s response.

"Hmph! Just because they’re older doesn’t mean they have higher cultivation! Anyone who isn’t a True Disciple or Steward above the Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven, if they cause you trouble, tell me. I’ll personally see what they mean! If they refuse, we’ll resolve it on the ’Enmity Platform’ and settle the score!"

As the leader of the team, Li Yunjing naturally had to hold the ground.

"Can you really defeat someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm Sixth Heaven now?"

Yang Wenzheng asked in astonishment.

"Heh heh! Back when I was at the Foundation Establishment Realm First Heaven, I could already kill a Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Heaven cultivator from the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’! Now that I’ve broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven, you can rest assured! Even if I encounter someone at the Seventh Heaven, I won’t fear them!"

Li Yunjing let out a cold laugh, revealing his true cultivation level to everyone.

"What!"

"Brother Li, you’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven?"

"It’s only been a few years?"

"Unbelievable!"

...

For a moment, the team was filled with astonishment.

Even some veteran True Disciples only had Li Yunjing’s cultivation level. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be mingling with Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

No one expected that Li Yunjing would become the foremost in their team in terms of cultivation.

Moreover, Li Yunjing was immensely powerful, often clashing with Tier Three Demon Kings and Golden Core Realm Cultivators. These tales had long been widely spread by Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

Now, knowing how formidable Li Yunjing was, everyone could only imagine!

"Heh heh!"

Li Yunjing, exuding awe-inspiring power, scanned the crowd and said, "Pick a True Disciple who’s been against us in the past three years. I want to challenge them and see what skills they have to bully our people!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing was ready to make an example out of someone!

By then, he would establish his reputation within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," vying for power. Otherwise, when Ming Lingchuan steps down, how could it be Li Yunjing’s turn to become the Sect Leader Venerable of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?

Of course, Li Yunjing didn’t tell anyone about his ambition for the top position. Otherwise, people would think he was a madman, having lost his mind!

The Sect Leader Venerable of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could only be a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Almost no one believed that Li Yunjing could break through to the Golden Core Realm in a short time.

Everyone knew that the gap from Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven to Golden Core Realm was vast.

No one believed that Li Yunjing could complete this miracle before the Sect Leader Venerable retired.

"Okay! We’ll study it tomorrow and give you a list!"

Fu Chao said excitedly.

He loved stirring things up, and Li Yunjing’s personality suited him perfectly.

This was good news!

Fu Chao also had people he didn’t like.

Hearing the conversation between Li Yunjing and Fu Chao, everyone’s spirits lifted. With Li Yunjing’s return, everyone found their backbone!

As they walked and talked, they moved swiftly through the mountains like shadows.

Some patrolling Mountain Patrol Disciples, upon suddenly seeing so many True Disciples, were dumbfounded with fear.

You should know, True Disciples typically traveled through the air or used the Teleportation Array. They never traversed like Servant Disciples or Outer Disciples with such effort.

No one dared to block Li Yunjing’s group. They could only report this to their respective Stewards, who would then report it to the Stewards.

Many bigwigs heard about it and immediately spread the news through various channels, all learning that Li Yunjing was out of prison.

Three years ago, Li Yunjing’s sudden imprisonment had caused quite a stir.

But the involved figures were too high-level, and no one dared mention the name of "Seven Star Palace" Palace Master Qin, leading to much speculation and gossip.

Now that Li Yunjing was out, troubles were likely inevitable.

Li Yunjing was somewhat of a celebrity. Although his cultivation time within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was short, his fame was considerable, far surpassing that of ordinary True Disciples.

Some people also knew that Li Yunjing’s two women and Fu Chao’s team had experienced considerable suppression over the past three years. With this rascal out now, they wondered if he’d dare to stand up.

Many turned their attention to Li Yunjing, eager to see if there would be any excitement soon.

Li Yunjing didn’t care about what they thought. No matter their thoughts, Li Yunjing only cared about their actions!

Anyone showing him no goodwill would face his wrath!

Palace Master Qin wanted to suppress Li Yunjing’s fiery temper but to no avail. After three years of cultivation, Li Yunjing was boiling with pent-up energy, ready to vent his inner anger and secure his position among the True Disciples!

They chatted casually, and two hours later, Li Yunjing’s group of hundreds finally arrived at the Eastern Mountain Area.

East Splendor Market was as bustling as ever with people coming and going.

Li Yunjing’s arrival with such a large group attracted many disciples’ attention.

After passing through several halls, Li Yunjing and his party arrived at "East Splendor Tower."

"Welcome, everyone!"

At the entrance of "East Splendor Tower," a middle-aged scholar greeted Li Yunjing and his party with a smile.

"Ha ha ha! Shopkeeper, you’re too kind! We’ve brought so many people, must be a hassle for you!"

Seeing an old acquaintance, Li Yunjing laughed heartily.

Li Yunjing had a good impression of the new shopkeeper of "East Splendor Tower."
